Funniest Observation of the Election Season Spotted in WaPo Comments Section

A querrolous John Wagner at the Washington Post offers YARFHIL (“Yet Another Reason for Hillary’s Ignoble Loss”), now that the James Comey, Russia, John Podesta, spirit Cooking, Wikileaks, global warming, and redneck revolution theories have all been disproven.

Clinton’s data-driven campaign relied heavily on an algorithm named Ada. What didn’t she see?

Inside Hillary Clinton’s campaign, she was known as Ada. Like the candidate herself, she had a penchant for secrecy and a private server. As blame gets parceled out Wednesday for the Democrat’s stunning loss to Republican President-elect Donald Trump, Ada is likely to get a lot of second-guessing.

Ada is a complex computer algorithm that the campaign was prepared to publicly unveil after the election as its invisible guiding hand. Named for a female 19th-century mathematician — Ada, Countess of Lovelace — the algorithm was said to play a role in virtually every strategic decision Clinton aides made, including where and when to deploy the candidate and her battalion of surrogates and where to air television ads — as well as when it was safe to stay dark.

The campaign’s deployment of other resources — including county-level campaign offices and the staging of high-profile concerts with stars like Jay Z and Beyoncé — was largely dependent on Ada’s work, as well…

…it appears that the importance of other states Clinton would lose — including Michigan and Wisconsin — never became fully apparent or that it was too late once it did.

…Clinton made several visits to Michigan during the general election, but it wasn’t until the final days that she, Obama and her husband made such a concerted effort… As for Wisconsin: Clinton didn’t make any appearances there at all… Like much of the political establishment Ada appeared to underestimate the power of rural voters in Rust Belt states.

Commenter jwilson1717 added the mic-drop:

They probably forgot to feed Ada the data that Hillary is an insufferable screeching hag that nobody wants to listen to for the next four years.

A few other noteworthy retorts:

• I’m just sitting back, waiting for the Democrats to blame their loss on a ham sandwich. So far, it’s the only thing not yet implicated as the cause of her defeat.

• The ham sandwich just texted me and says he’s already lawyering up.

• Clinton went 9 months without holding a press conference, emboldened with the support the media and Hollywood gave her. She needed cheat sheets from Brazile so she had canned answers to supposedly spontaneous questions. She didn’t even show up to comfort her supporters when it was evident she lost until the next morning.

This just in, Ada and the ham sandwich have not been seen since the night of Nov 8, 2016.. if you have seen either Ada or the ham sandwich, please notify the appropriate authorities as it is believed they have met with foul play!

The ham sandwich is described as being visually appealing and quite tasty.. Ada is described as being based on windows 95 and may have committed bsod!
